12 INTEGRATING REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS INTO THE WORK OF NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS OF THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION l Health and nutrition during pregnancy l Self-immolation l Gender bias leading to sex-selective abortion l Inadequate health insurance for reproductive services l Drug taking by young pregnant women. 2.1.3 There are strong similarities between NHRIs in terms of their identification of the groups most vulnerable to weak recognition of reproductive rights All NHRIs, with just one exception, noted that individuals (particularly women) who are isolated, poor and socially marginalized or excluded are especially vulnerable to weak recognition of their reproductive rights. The group most frequently mentioned was rural women. The following groups were mentioned by at least several respondents: l Persons with disabilities (physical and intellectual) l Young people l Migrants including migrant workers and refugees l Poor/excluded communities and individuals (such as scheduled castes) l Religious communities l Indigenous communities l Sexual minorities As one respondent pointed out, it is women and girls within these generally vulnerable groups who are particularly at risk. 2.2. Key findings on attitudes/perceptions related to reproductive rights 2.2.1 NHRIs hold different views on particular rights issues and on the place of these issues in the work of the Institution Respondents were asked to consider a range of reproductive rights issues and areas (for example, reproductive decision-making, freedom from harmful practices, right to privacy) and to express a view on whether they see a current or future role for their institution in relation to these areas.
